Relegation doomed 6-fingered sister sh*ggers v Europe bound resurgent mighty Reds

[HarleyQuinn]

Huge win for us today. Only takes a couple of wins on the bounce to haul you up the table.

Jenks took his goal very well. First time all season we've had a break (handball incident).

3 wins on the bounce and our second away victory of the season. It's getting better.

That's the sort of chat some of us were coming out with during our bad run, and now we're closing in on fourth (he said, optimistically).

Your chairman wasn't lying though, your underlying numbers always had you picking up form and finishing top half.

Us and Livingston have comfortably been the worst sides in the league so far, and our lack of goals absolutely stinks of relegation.

Still a long way to go. Chin up

We're fucked, I'm afraid.

A manager who's terrified of trying to win a game, a rotten squad full of players knowing they're away in the Summer, and a game plan that's been sussed for months but never changes.

Today probably our best performance in months and we couldn't muster a decent chance and shouldve lost by a couple really, Clark made at least one great save in the first half.

Frustrated at tumbling down the championship?

Brutal call from the worst referee in Scotland. I was hesitant to VAR but it can not come soon enough when you have clowns like him making wrong decisions again and again.

I don't see how the ref can be blamed for that, he's clearly unsighted with several players in the way.

On second viewing you're probably right but I maintain my general opinion re Aitken. Terrible referee.

[williemillersmoustache]

Not sure Jenks knew anything about it as it was headed on to him by a Saints player, so not a formal hand ball but more of an impromptu ball-hand gathering  where I can assure you, all the rules were complied with at all times.

There’s no debate re the goal. It’s handball and we got away with it. 

Can't disagree but also can't help but think that is the sort of break we haven't enjoyed all season so long overdue

Surely it’s the ref’s job to ensure he doesn’t get unsighted?

[craigkillie]

It's literally impossible for that to be the case unless he has the ability to teleport.

I mean, make every effort to keep up with play and position himself well but it’s probably unrealistic to expect a ref to ensure he sees everything

It’s his job not be in a position so he’s not unsighted 

[craigkillie]

It's his job to be in the best position as much as he can but it is literally not possible to always be able to see every incident given how quickly the ball moves and how many players are on the park.

Four officials involved and extremely poor that none of them saw this 

[RandomGuy.]

The ref was shite but the goal wasn't his fault as he quite clearly can't see it. The East Stand linesman could but he constantly cowered at the thought of giving any decision so you've no luck there.
